Summary/Abstract: Thinking about love is always difficult, because it is trying to reduce something what is immediately live in the experience of being loved. This work shows the tensions and difficulties inherent in any way of thinking love, a love that is not only understood as a desire of possession but also as a gift of one-self. The pain of love itself because the fact of not be shown in his essence will lead to a reflexion of the necessity of human suffering and its nuclear character as transition between the two types of love, that is, their mutual acceptance and integration.
